TinyLaunch pricing, in full
- Standard Launch — free; your product is live on the homepage for multiple days, and top-3 products earn badges plus an advertised high-authority backlink.
- Premium Launch — $39 per launch; skip the queue and get the advertised guaranteed high-authority backlink without needing a top-3 finish.
- Featured Spot (top of page) — $30/week; Mid-Feed Spot (between third and fourth products) — $15/week. TinyLaunch states a feature stays up free until its cost per click comes down to $1.
- Submission Service — $279 one-time, submitting your startup to 110 directories with reporting.
The pricing page does not state whether backlinks are do-follow, and “high authority” is TinyLaunch's own description — inspect a live listing before counting the link in your profile.
The 110-directory submission service, honestly
$279 buys the grind of submitting to 110 startup directories. Whether that is a good trade depends on what the list contains: directory links vary enormously in quality, and a profile built mostly from low-tier directories adds volume, not authority. If you buy any submission service, ask for the directory list first, and check how many free listings — like the top handful of launch platforms in our alternatives guide — you would have done yourself anyway.

Where LaunchPact fits alongside TinyLaunch
TinyLaunch is cheap extra surface. What it does not provide is the launch-day support system — supporters committed before the day — or link building you can verify. LaunchPact's launch network covers the first with screenshot-verified mutual pacts, and the Backlink Network covers the second with owner-approved do-follow insertions, crawl-verified at day 7, 30, and 90.

Frequently asked questions
A lightweight startup launch platform: founders submit a product, the community votes, ranked products earn exposure, badges, and backlinks, and listings stay on the homepage for multiple days rather than rotating out after 24 hours.
Yes — the Standard Launch is free and keeps your product live on the homepage for multiple days. Paid options sit on top: a $39 Premium Launch, weekly featured spots, and a done-for-you directory submission service.
At $39 per launch (August 2026 pricing), Premium skips the queue for faster positioning and carries an advertised guaranteed high-authority backlink. On the free tier, a backlink is earned by ranking in the top 3.
Premium launches and top-3 ranking products receive what TinyLaunch describes as a high-authority backlink. The pricing page does not state whether links are do-follow, so check a live listing's markup before counting it toward link building. For links with independent verification, LaunchPact's Backlink Network crawls every placement at day 7, 30, and 90.
Two placements, priced weekly as of August 2026: the top-of-page spot at $30/week and a mid-feed spot (between the third and fourth ranked products) at $15/week. TinyLaunch states that if your cost per click has not come down to $1 by the end of the run, the feature stays up free until it does.
A $279 one-time, done-for-you service that submits your startup to 110 directories with reporting. It trades money for the grind of directory submissions — worth comparing against doing the highest-value directories yourself, since directory links vary widely in quality.
As free secondary launch surface, yes — the cost is a submission form, and multiple days of homepage visibility plus a possible top-3 badge is a fair return. The paid options are conversions of money into speed and placement; judge them against what a top-3 finish looks like in your category that week.
Fazier and MicroLaunch are the closest lighter-competition launch boards, Uneed is the calmer established daily board, BetaList suits pre-launch waitlist building, and Product Hunt remains the biggest launch-day audience. The full comparison is on our Product Hunt alternatives guide.
